Can from Beer Republic. It pours lightly amber with an orangey hue with a thick , fluffy yellowy white head. The aroma is sweet, sappy, oily, orange marmalade, mango, orange squash, sherbet, grapefruit and bready. The taste is dry, bitter, sappy, pine needles, pithy, zesty, grapefruit, pomelo, bitter orange, campari, orange marmalade sandwiches, gummy bears, touch floral, peppery spice, hearty malt base and just a dull touch of alcohol with a drying, zesty finish. Medium body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Tbh considering this isn't fresh it's rather tasty nonetheless. Big fruity vibes and hit of bitterness. Very drinkable.

Can from Beer Republic. It pours orangey - amber with sturdy white head. The aroma is sappy, pine, orange marmalade sandwiches, tangerine, peachy, gummy bears and tinned fruit cocktail. The taste is drying, firmly bitter, snappy, plenty of piney vibes, damp west coast greenness, weedy, pithy, zesty, orange marmalade sandwiches, grapefruit, waxy citrus peel, peppery spice touch of toffee and light alcohol with a drying finish. Average body and moderate carbonation. Nice West coast vibes, but this isn't the freshest example unfortunately.

Can (6/19/23) pour from Valley Beverage. It's a bright, hazy yellow with decent sparkle, finger-width head with good retention and nice rings of lacing. Aroma is dank citrus and lightly tart fruit. Taste is lightly tart fruit over biscuit. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium body with smooth, frothy texture, mostly bitter finish. Overall, more Centennial and Cascade than Amarillo, Citra and Eureka. Bitter West Coast IPA.

16 oz can picked up at the local bottle shop in Ontario, CA. Tasty west coast IPA, bold piney and floral hop aromas, with a crisp front, and medium bodied balanced mid palate. Classic hops used very nicely. Flavorful hoppy linger. Would love having this IPA om the gas station shelf back home. Really enjoy this one.
